Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy[…]Klabin has restructured its team and created a specific corporate area of Sustainability and Environment that has as one of its objectives the day-to-day management of the issue with the responsibility of monitoring global and national climate agendas and mapping their related risks and opportunities related to all of the Klabin units. This team is responsible for operating and managing corporate issues related to the environment and sustainability in the organization.
As a complement to the inclusion of the activities of this corporate team, Klabin presents a fixed sustainability committee made up of representatives of the organization's board of directors whose objective is to discuss and insert sustainability-related issues (including climate change) into the organization's strategic planning.
The corporate sustainability and environmental team is responsible for following the demands of global and national climate agendas and mapping their related risks and opportunities and taking these issues to decision making in the sustainability committee.
In addition, the demands and decisions of this committee return the corporate team to operationalize and apply the actions together with the environmental teams located in Klabin units. This ensures that the issues related to our direct and indirect activities are linked to our strategy of climate change and organizational sustainability.
Our efforts are guided by the Guidelines for Climate Change Management – Mitigation and Adaptation. Among the main guidelines for managing the theme are the Business Ambition For 1.5º C, a UN global campaign, and the commitment to reduce emissions considering science and the neutralization of emissions by 2050.
In 2021, we joined the We Mean Business global coalition that brings together the business sector around the fight against the effects of global warming. Several companies around the world participate in the initiative, which proposes the establishment of a low carbon economy.
In partnership with the Brazil network of the UN Global Compact, we launched the ImPacto NetZero movement, created from the urgency of collective mobilization to mitigate climate change.
The success of this management model is ensured by a governance structure that involves all levels of the company, constantly interacting with each other and empowering all Klabin's areas and employees.
